The international jury for the 27th Piranesi awards met on 20 November 2015 in Monfort Exhibition hall.

The members of the jury, traditionally composed of every year Piran lecturers, were: Boris Bežan, Sonja Gasparin and Beny Meier, Idis Turato, Meritxell Inaraja, András Ferkai José, Esteves de Matos and David Lorente Ibáñez. The jury was led by Majda Božeglav-Japelj, Katarina Čakš, Anže Koren and Tatjana Sirk. The sculpture for the Piranesi Award is work of the internationally recognized Slovene sculptor Mirsad Begić.

After considering all the projects, the jury decided to award prizes in the following way.

International 2015 Piranesi Student Honorable Mention went to students Matteo Carsillo and Andrea Pauletich and their mentors Giovanni Corbellini and Giulio Paladini.
This project starts with clear social and contextual ambitions and explores the urban and environmental potential of its constituent elements. The idea offers a multitude of interconnecting possibilities which this project imaginatively tries to grapple with.

International 2015 Piranesi Honorable Mention was given to Radionica arhitekture + Vanja Ilić for project Museum of Vučedol culture, Vukovar, 2015;
Like the findings themselves, the archaeological museum of Vukovar is closely connected to the ground. More than that, the goal of its layout is integration into landscape. Outer, as well as inner walkways follow the topography of the slope in a way that the visitors are not aware that they have overcome four levels.

Szigeti, MM Group and Hetedik Studio for project The Deads of the University – World War II. Memorial, Eötvös Loránd University Faculty of Humanities, Budapest, 2015.
This memorial very powerfully, but discreetly embeds within the building fabric of the university buildings the name register of 198 Jewish teachers and students killed during World War II. The project avoids the big gesture and is an exemplar in the art of ‘Less is More’. In spite of its length of 280m, this memorial remains invisible to those who do not wish to see or find, but it evokes the most powerful memory for those who wish to know and find.

International 2015 Piranesi Award was awarded to Dinko Peračić for Market and fish market, Vodice, 2015.
The project is an example of successful urban and social renovation. Amidst a highly touristic area, this project focuses the sense of community. Continuing the existing urban typology, the translucent canopy unifies the urban block. This materially restrained structure is welcoming, delivering a light, positive and social environment. The project succeeds in delivering high value community space with well considered and limited resources.

This Thursday at 26 November 2015 you have chance to attend lecture with winners of International 2015 Piranesi Honorable Mention, Goran Rako and Vanja Ilić, about their project Museum of Vučedol culture at Oris House of Architecture at 7 p.m.
